Lousy Cheap Blowjobs - Understanding Male vs. Female Rate Structures in the Adult Industryby Dave PounderI am writing this opinion piece in an effort to help motivate male performers in the adult industry to demand higher rates for blowjob (BJ) and handjob (HJ) scenes. I believe there is a generally accepted rule in the adult industry that males should receive a lower rate for these types of scenes, but there is little data to help support this claim.

Let's begin by looking at the female talent rate structure. When a girl does a solo scene she gets a certain rate; when she does a BJ scene she gets a little more than her solo rate; when she does a boy/girl (B/G) scene she gets a little more than her BJ rate; when she does a boy/girl anal (BGA) scene she gets a little more than her regular BG rate, and so on. The reason the girl gets more money in each scenario is because she is required to do more work and is being 'penetrated' in a different area, which makes each 'jump' in scene type a little more difficult for her to do for two primary reasons. First, sex is more emotional for women, so taking a penis is the vagina is a little more involved emotionally than taking a penis in the mouth, most especially from a guy she does not know. Second, it is much more physically demanding for a woman to do an anal scene as opposed to a vaginal scene, and so on.

Now let's look at the male talent rate structure. When a guy does a BJ scene he gets a certain rate, let's say that rate is $300. When a guy does a B/G scene, the rate grows to let's say $600. Let's assume for a moment that this rate bump is due to the same factors as to why women are paid more money for increasing scene complexity ( e.g., going from a BJ to a B/G), even though we already know this is not the case. When a guy does a BGA scene with a girl, he still gets the same rate as if it were a non-anal scene. How is this possible? If we were to follow the earlier logic, the male talent's rate should now jump to something higher than $600 for an anal scene, but it doesn't.
